The ghosts of Christmases past may be lurking in homes, halls, businesses and cemeteries around Wetaskiwin and if you think there’s more to the holiday spirit then what’s raised in a toast, there’s a couple of paranormal investigators in town that would like to talk to you.

Kevin Saucier and Carmelita Lake have been investigating the paranormal and conducting ghost tours in the Fort Saskatchewan area for a number of years but when Saucier started to get involved in the Edmonton International Raceway in Wetaskiwin, they developed a fondness for Wetaskiwin and decided to relocate.

“We like the town, its friendly people, it’s affordable and quiet so we decided to call it home,” said Lake.

The couple operate Visions Intuitive Paranormal Services and are looking for people to share stories of local hauntings so they can not only investigate them but develop a Wetaskiwin ghost tour next summer.

“We instruct guests on the usage of the various pieces of equipment, proper EVP evidence gathering, proper video and photo evidence gathering, and of course history of the location and the evidence that we gathered at the location ourselves,” said Saucier.

Once the tour waivers are signed and email addresses collecte, since they email the guests any evidence gathered from the tours, the tour begin.

The tours usually last about two hours or so, depending on the location.

“We allow select guests to use the equipment and most guests have experiences while on the tours, Most of all the guests can expect to have a lot of fun and to expect the unexpected, something will happen we just do not know what or when it will happen,” said Saucier.

When it comes to paranormal investigations, the couple do day time investigations for safety reasons a Lake is losing her eyesight and ghosts don’t just shop up in the dark.

“If we can show evidence of paranormal activity captured in the daytime at a location the greater the chances of activity at night, due to the increase in electricity usage as spirits like to feed off electricity from any source and there is more at night thus the increase in activity at night,” said Saucier. “Going over daylight and outdoor evidence is most challenging but with the aid of filters and audio software we can usually decipher and locate evidence of activity.”

With Wetaskiwin’s history, the couple believes there are stories out there and if anyone has a story to share, they can contact Visions Intuitive Paranormal Services on Facebook or via email at
